This errors sometimes caused a reboot, sometimes freezes the machine. They are the same as some of you have also reported (time outs etc). But last thursday something strange happened: after some days with successful backups i noticerd, that the machine is rebooting while doing a dump. But it cant boot because the _disk geometry_ has changed to 2millions/1/1. After some problems with the restore procedure i switched to a ncr scsi controller. No problems anymore. Just FYI, Jochen ---------------------------------------------------------- Jochen Knuth WebMaster http://www.ipro.de IPRO GmbH Fon ++49-7152-93330 Steinbeisstr. 6 Fax ++49-7152-933340 71229 Leonberg EMail: J.Knuth@ipro.de
